Set on the ground floor of a handsome Georgian terrace in sought-after Bear Flat, this one-bedroom apartment brings period charm and practical long-lease security. High ceilings, an original fireplace and sash-style proportions give the principal room real character, while an open-plan layout and a modern kitchen provide everyday convenience.
The apartment benefits from its own private entrance and use of a generous shared garden and patio, ideal for a quiet outdoor spot in the city. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and there is no flood risk in this location.
Buyers should note the property is small at about 317 sqft and occupies a linear layout, making it best suited to a single occupant or couple, or a buyer seeking a pied-à-terre. The stone exterior shows areas requiring restoration and the original external walls are assumed uninsulated, so there may be thermal improvement and external maintenance costs.
The building is self-managed and the lease is long (961 years), offering ownership certainty but requiring the owner to engage with communal upkeep. Overall this flat will suit a first-time buyer or downsizer who values character, a private entrance and a share of garden, and who is comfortable with modest size and some external repair and improvement work.
